Last weekend (the one before the rain came) we had a visit from some lovely friends: The Korn family on their Australia trip made a stop in Sydney.

The ferry from Manly is perfect to take in the major sights...

... such as the bridge

the opera

and the old wharf buildings that have now been converted into mega expensive apartments.

For a better view just poke your head out.

For greater fun, have a friend with you.

Mmmh, yummy ice cream.

Smile, family photo!

Francesco is an excellent climber.
